This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I was driving my vehicle on the expressway and it suddenly and without warning started losing power and acceleration was not occurring nearly causing a extremely bad accident. I spoke with Nissan and they told me that my Nissan Rogue sport has a bad CVT Transmission. Many of their Rogues have this issue and a class action lawsuit was filed against them. Nissan should be held liable for knowingly and deliberately risking the lives of innocent drivers due to their negligence and corporate greed.
the car will not go in reverse and it does by waiting up to 20 minutes car goes in reverse but the car goes by itself while driving accelerating on its own without me pressing on the gas, I have processed the break for acceleration to stop and go the speed I wish to drive. I took it to the mechanic and was told it was the shift lock solenoid the mechanic could not fix the car the mechanic said the part is on backorder with Nissan and there is no release date for when the car car part (shift lock solenoid) will be available to repair the car. I do not feel safe driving the car
Initial incident vehicle had failure to correctly advance when placed in drive after startup. Vehicle then suddenly jerked forward into drive and was able to proceed. Took the vehicle into the dealer that I purchased from and they told me that nothing was wrong and the vehicle was in perfect condition with no mechanical problems. About a month later (yesterday) while I was out shopping the vehicle suddenly started to make noise and was unable to pick up speed as normal. It would not accelerate as it should. It would start slowly and then jerk forward picking up speed. By the time I got home (about 8 miles) it would barely do more than 18 mph. Makes a whirring sound and just no acceleration. Luckily I was able to get it into my garage safely. So...this month is my last payment on this vehicle and at only 78,000 miles I thought I would be enjoying months of payment free usage before repairs were needed. WRONG! A friend told me that my vehicle was on a recall list but that was wrong too. Now I am waiting to get estimates on what a new transmission would cost. Not happy. Will never buy a Nissan again. I called the corporate recall number and they so gladly gave me the news that there is no recall. Sucks! Do I pay the price for a transmission or do I trade it in. Trying to retire but now might have to work to pay this bill. Sucks! Previously had Jeeps that ran for way over the 200k miles and had very few problems. Time to consider another vehicle brand. Any suggestions? This won't help get my vehicle fixed but it helps with the stress!

CVT transmission failed. Dealer says not repairable and requires a new transmission priced at $7000. Nissan settled class action suit in 2022 for this particular model and year equipped with CVT transmissions. Nissan has offered no compensation to me.
The transmission has failed with under 70,000 miles on the vehicle. It was diagnosed as a failed transmission by a Nissan dealer service department. The owner is unsure of the fluid maintenance history. A Nissan dealer would charge at least $5500 to replace the transmission. The engine was revving into the high RPM range, and the transmission was not shifting. This is a saftey hazard, especially while driving in Southern California. The vehicle should have more reliability considering there are much older, and higher mileage vehicles on the road that do not have transmission problems like this. The engine revving without the transmission shifting can cause engine and other component damage. The vehicle is just outside of the warranty period and mileage. This is unacceptable for a newer production vehicle.
The contact owns a 2018 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while her husband was driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power with the coolant temperature warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the CVT transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of failure and the contact was informed that due to the mileage, the warranty coverage was denied. The failure mileage was approximately 143,000
When I was driving, it was as though it had slipped into neutral. I was accelerating when it wouldn't accelerate anymore and just coasted like it was in neutral. Also when I accelerate from a stop, it took a minute to go. When it did finally go, it was very jerky and I was almost in an accident.
